I got started blogging in April 2007 at Little Red Suit. In a short time, I built great relationships, expanded my network and started developing my personal brand. But getting started was a challenge. These two posts describe my initial journey into blogging and my thoughts about the process along the way.

1. Making it happen: The first step to success

2. The Parable of the Little Red Suit
This is the story of how a little red suit inspired me to start my blog and marks the start of an incredible journey into building some of the best business relationships I’ve ever made.
